Riddles

1) On the first day I came to be, Divinely created for you to see. Artificial or natural, take your pick, Although too much of the latter can make you sick.

2) I put myself in danger,
And then I flee.
All the while you laugh at me.
If not for me, others may die,
Yet when you see me, I often cry.
I jump and run and roll and play,
But keeping them safe just makes my day.
What am I?

3) The following words have a similar characteristic.
Can you tell me what that is, apart from the fact that
they are all nouns?

a. Case
b. Keeper
c. Maker
d. Plate
e. Seller
f. Mark
g. Store

4) What 5 chemical elements make chocolate?

5) I help you get lost
In magical worlds.
You move me around
With all your fingers.
Time can fly by
Before you know it.
Lost in this world?
You better believe it!
Images will flash
Before your eyes.
Controlling me,
Would be most wise.
Then you will see
The end at last.
Sometimes better,
When completed fast.

What am I?

6) Limerick has taught my children much.
My history has been nobel and swift.
The Mother guides most of my clan,
and most of them never drift.
Two Marys only lasted five years as my queen.
and good Shannon's guidance is easily seen.

7) My first is in ocean, but never in sea.
My next is in wasp, but not in a bee.
My last is in glider and also in flight.
My whole is a creature that hunts through the night.
